THE MATCH INDUSTRY.
Millions Invested i'm the Manufacture of
the Little Lucifers.

A match is small thing. but in the
manufacture of matches one of the
great corporations of this country has
grown up. 1t originated in combina-
ton of the leading match manufac-
turers. The capital stock is some
where in the vicinity of $2O,OOO,OOO to
25,000,000. Last year dividend of
capitalization. The combination does
not have entirely clear sailing. It is
obliged at times to put prices down to
the cost in order to drive competitors
out of the business. Talking at the
Hoffman House recently with John
Robinson, the Chicago manager of the
company, he said: ''They have got
matches down to a fine point in Michi-
gan. They are selling three boxes
that is, 900 matches, for two cents.
There was a little factory started in
that State. Matches were then selling
at So so case. They put down the
price little and we were obliged to
meet them. They kept running down
and we kept meeting them until it got
down to $1.25 case. Then we took
the initiative and dropped to 81. The re-
tailers had stocked up at from $1.25 to
$1.75, which were thought bottom
prices. Now they had to get rid of the
matches at any sacrifice, and they
began to cut. When they had slashed
around to the dollar limit one man,
who had been losing trade by the drive
on matches, put his down to three
boxes for two cents. That is sc cents
case, or four cents less than he can
duplicate them for. The other dealers
offered to buy out his entire stock, but
he wouldn't sell. He saw his trade
coming back with the sale of matches
at that price, It struck me in this
episode there was a photograph of
American business life of startling
vividness. y Cor. Cincinnati En-
